You must all hate it.

Windows 8. :2up: I can't even shut it down. :mad:

[The ho har's]

Go to the right bottom corner, A pop up comes up, choose settings and then power and switch it off. Took me ages to fine the close down button:(

Mrs hh:angel:

[Mick_Marsh]

Yep. Hate it with a passion.

Hmm, when my grandson built me up a new computer recently, he is right into computers and studying IT at Uni. He said "what operating system do you want?"

I said "get the latest, Windows 8". He said "not recommended, I suggest Windows 7, 64 bit" and that's what I'm running with no problems.:)

I have upgraded from Vista and noticed Windows 7 is more stable, but then again my computer needs are pretty basic.:D

[V8Ian]

Yeah Mick, there was nothing with Windows 5.1.

[Mick_Marsh]

I remember bringing home a brand new box of Windows 1.
My favorite version that ran on DOS was 3.11. I ran it on Novell DOS 7.
Favorite Windows was NT4.

[Ausfree]

Are yes, Windows 3.11. Thats when I was introduced to computers.:D

[superquag]

I recently found a set of floppies.... for Windows 3.1.1.:eek

At least it didn't mind my normal Power-Down method... switch it off at the power point !

3.5"

or

5.25"

Actually, I will amend my above post, back in 1982 I worked as a Laboratory Manager in a photofinishing laboratory and we used a Kodak 3510 printer to print photo's from customers negatives.

It used 5.25" floppies. Very high tech then, I spent two weeks at Kodak in Sydney learning all about the 3510 before our lab installed it. The printer could certainly knock out the prints at a rapid rate, can't remember the print rate but it was impressive. Much faster than the Kodak 2620 printer it replaced.

Nothing wrong with Xtree Pro Gold. :D

[AndyG]

Memories,
Back in 86 paid Micro**** 100,000 for Dos 3 source code,we broke the 10 mb? Barrier for hard drives and added a lot of mathematical code to Basic.

Then we went broke

[Mick_Marsh]

I bought a copy of Z-Tree.

Yep. X-Tree was the best.

Ah yes, I remember it fondly; and Geos on Commodore before that.

Just get back to the front page (or whatever it's called) and then alt-F4, or go for 8.1, at least I find that a better option.

so, how are all your crosply tyres doing?
finding that cave a bit cold in winter?:p:p:p

[MarknDeb]

Oh yes the com64 was a great machine, easy to write your own programs and couldn't wait to do memory and drive upgrades :D. I used to love Windows ME until I got Windows 2000, this would have to have been the very best and most stable version I had.

[loanrangie]

Loved fast forwarding the tape on C64 to get to the start of a game - Ghost and Goblins was my fave at the time.

[Mick_Marsh]

so, how are all your crosply tyres doing?
A tad worn out and crumbling. Know where I can get some new ones? They seem to be in short supply.

When I had the Series III, I used crossply retreads all the time.

They never gave me any trouble, but by the time I upgraded to the 300Tdi in 2006, it was already getting hard to find good cases to have retreaded.

I imagine they would be even harder to find now.
